oh boy, here we go again

Recommended Posts

So it's been a really really long time. We moved, much bigger house that needed lots of repairs but closer to my work and much better schools for the Kids- yeah we had another one of those too

Now I've reached a point that I can start working on my workshop (woodworking and beer brewing) area and also my watchmaking area. To celebrate this and my recent birthday I picked up a 1970 Bulova Sea King Automatic 11 ANACB. Currently it has several issues but hopefully, they will get resolved quickly!

Congrats from me too. I don’t have parts but hey, I’m jealous of you having a home brew and watch repair area so I wouldn’t share if I did, nah-nah-na-na-nah!

At our last house someone called the cops as I was brewing beer. Said I was making moonshine- cops come asked a couple of questions and showed up a few hours later when their shift was over with beers to learn how to homebrew! I showed those neighbors!

For the most part, Cops are just regular guys, whose job its is to keep the peace and collect revenue.Your nosey neighbors called, so they had to respond, and trust me those guys are still telling that story.

You could get one of each size from Cousins and by trial and error fit the one best suited. Also a suitable set of hands ordered at the same time would leave a spare complete movement and a repaired clock for less than the ebay item.

I do and I know others that do too, but not everyone agrees.
Acetone breaks down dried oil better than naphta, but is nasty stuff and very flammable. I keep my bottle of it in the shed and oil put about 10 mils in a small jar to use inside
One Dip solution would be best, but its very expensive.
You will find there is no 'one way only' to do things, but many ways all with their pluses and minuses, you just need to choose the way that works best for you.
The most important thing is to check the endstone is actually clean before oiling and assembling
